As the United States celebrate 250 years of freedom…what happens if that freedom disappears?
In a near-future America where nationalism and religion have fused into a weapon of political control, Reverend Isaiah Proffit dares to speak out. When he refuses to turn his church into a mouthpiece for the state, he is arrested and charged with treason by an authoritarian regime determined to silence dissent.
As AI-controlled justice, televised propaganda, and public fear tighten around him, Isaiah faces an impossible choice: save himself — or stand by the truth, no matter the cost.
Explosive, provocative, and frighteningly plausible, The Cross and the Saber is a gripping new political thriller about faith, freedom, and the terrifying danger of a nation where questioning authority becomes a crime.
Opening July 2–19 during America’s 250th anniversary celebration, this powerful production asks one urgent question:
What happens when patriotism becomes religion — and dissent becomes treason?
